Chris,

I have a W & K cart. They came in several diffrent sizes. Some had boxes in the rear. Some on the top of the frame in the front. The boxes varied in size too. I can give dimensions for a couple of sizes of boxes.

I was supprised when I tryed to interchange some frame parts and found that the holes did not line up very well. It seemed that they were drilled by hand?

W & K was a Fire Dept Supply Co. They were still in business in the early 90s. Now I do not know. I doubt if they actually built these carts. I suppect they had all the components made by some mfg. co. I do not know. May be someone can comment on that thought.
